Bunraku (bunraku) is a form of Japanese puppet theater that dates back to the 17th century. He is known for his large, detailed dolls used along with narrative and musical elements.
An important feature of the bunraku is that each doll is controlled by three people: the head puppeteer who controls the doll's head and right hand, the second puppeteer who controls the doll's left hand, and the third puppeteer who controls the legs.
Known as "tayū", the narrator tells the story and performs all the voices of the characters. It is accompanied by a musician who plays a Japanese stringed instrument called "shamisen".
Bunraku, along with the kabuki theater and classical dances Noh and Kyogen, is considered one of the four great types of traditional Japanese theater.
